    Hacking switch died after installing modchip, and I need help

    As an knowledge I knew that I shouldnt, but I was overconfident about it. It looked too easy on every tutorial documents and video, so I misassumed the lack of my skillset. I learnt a $300 + my 400hrs of totk playtime worth lesson. Luckily, my switch never went into a cfw which means that my...

    what just came in my mind is that, could it be the flux seep in between pcb and cpu, messes up lead that connects cpu to the board, so it ended up to my symptom? in that case I need heatgun, reballing stencil and more dedicated skillset to soldering. 1698354534 back to rom dump topic 1.

    Hacking switch died after installing modchip, and I need help

    First, yes, I removed battery before installing. But, since my soldering skill isn't that good, ribbon cable breaking still can happen. I have no clue where it could happen, since, on my level of sight in pcb-work, I didn't make any mistake. Based on my symptom, where do you think it happened?

    Hacking switch died after installing modchip, and I need help

    After I installed a rp2040 hwfly clone to my switch (mariko), my switch fails to start. What I mean by 'fails to start' is that device's screen is not turning on at all, no initial fan spin, and no response to any input. At first I thought the modchip was bad, so I removed everything and tried...
